Term
| Where does the brachial artery begin? |
|
Definition
| The brachial artery begins at the inferior border of the teres major |
|
|
Term
| Where does the brachial artery end? |
|
Definition
| The brachial artery ends at the level of the elbow by branching into the ulnar artery and radial artery |
|
|
Term
| The brachial artery has 3 named arteries,what are they? |
|
Definition
Deep artery of the arm
Superior Ulnar collateral artery
Inferior ulnar collateral artery |

Term
| What is the cubital fossa? |
|
Definition
| The cubital fossa is the depression on the anterior aspect of the elbow |
|
|
Term
| Why is the cubital fossa clinically important? |
|
Definition
| Because it contains superficial veins that are used for venipuncture. Large nerves and veins pass through this region to enter the forearm |

|
Definition
|
|
Term

|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What is the superficial boundary of the cubital fossa? |
|
Definition
| Antebrachial fascia reinforced by the bicipital aponeurosis |
|
|
Term
| What is the deep boundary (floor of the cubital fossa)? |
|
Definition
Brachialis muscle
Supinator muscle |
|
|
Term
| What protects the brachial artery and median nerve during a venipuncture? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What are the relative positions of these structures in the cubital fossa (Biceps brachii tendon, brachial artery, median nerve) |
|
Definition
Biceps brachii tendon is lateral
Brachial artery is intermediate
Median nerve is medial |
|
|
Term
| The triceps brachii has three proximal attachments, what are they? |
|
Definition
Long head: infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula
Lateral head: Posterior surface of the humerus superior to the radial groove
Medial head: Posterior surface of the humerus inferior to the radial groove |
|
|
Term

|
Term
| Where is the proximal attachment of the anconeus muscle? |
|
Definition
| Lateral epicondyle of the humerus |
|
|
Term
| Where is the distal attachment of the anconeus muscle? |
|
Definition
| Lateral surface of the olecrannon and the superior part of the posterior surface of the ulna |
|
|
Term
| What is the function of the anconeus muscle? |
|
Definition
| It assists the triceps brachii in extension of the forearm |
